These efforts span initiatives such as children's welfare, educational support, food aid, festive contributions, and programmes supporting frontline workers, consistently reflecting the brand's dedication to touching lives and strengthening communities. McDonald's Malaysia managing director and local operating partner Datuk Azmir Jaafar said, 'We are deeply honoured to be recognised for the eighth consecutive year and especially proud to receive the Long-Standing Excellence Award for the second year running. 'These recognitions are a testament to our unwavering belief that doing good must always be at the heart of what we do. 'As a local operation, our responsibility extends far beyond serving meals – it is about making a genuine difference through consistent, meaningful community engagement. 'We remain committed to continuing this important work, standing with Malaysians, for Malaysians.'
